Say goodbye to Australian cars with this massive Holden burnout

Car production is dead in Oz, but that doesn't mean enthusiasm died with it

This year, Australia lost its General Motors manufacturing arm, Holden. Ford also closed the doors on its Australian factories. Both companies will just import cars to the continent instead of producing them domestically. While we didn’t feel many shockwaves from Ford’s decision, Chevrolet felt some pain when it axed the SS sedan in North America, as it was just a lightly restyled Holden Commodore.

Instead of mourning the loss of its auto production, one Australian enthusiast showed off what their country could do (with a little help from the aftermarket). This vintage Holden HQ with a massive roots-style blower poking through the hood absolutely roasts its rear rubber in a fit of glorious rage. Check it out above.
